Table 2.
The three optimal random forest models, as selected by the exhaustive search algorithm. Models A, B, and C had the highest out-of-bag (OOB) accuracy for cluster 3, 2, and 1, respectively.
| Model | Model form | OOB accuracy, percent | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | Clusterl | Cluster2 | Cluster3 | ||
| A | Class ~ Natural_pct + Fertilizer_MK + ValleyRidge_pct + Deposition_MK + Carb_pct | 70.5 | 66.7 | 68.8 | 76.0 |
| B | Class ~ AgSurplus_MK + Fertilizer_MK + Deposition_MK + Natural_pct | 70.5 | 66.7 | 75.0 | 68.0 |
| C | Class ~ BlueRidge_pct + Deposition_MK + Coastal_pct + Crop_pct + Fertilizer_MK + Natural_pct | 69.2 | 81.0 | 65.6 | 64.0 |
